Nusa's Growing Influence at Leipzig

Antonio Nusa, the 20‑year‑old Norwegian who signed for Leipzig in summer 2024, has netted eight goals and become a flexible attacking option.

Nusa arrived from Club Brugge for a reported €21 million in summer 2024. Since then he has made 64 competitive appearances and scored eight goals across all competitions, adding pace and energy to Leipzig’s attack.

He credits coach Ole Werner and Scandinavian teammate Conrad Harder for easing his transition, learning German and adapting to a flexible role that could see him as a number 10 or deeper. Nusa embraces nerves as a sign of importance and aims to keep contributing wherever the team needs him.
